I My Me! Strawberry Eggs

Amawa Hibiki is a young man just out of college, with an education to be an athletics teacher. He's been having a hard time finding a job since he graduated, so all his money has gone towards living expenses. When his landlady demands his first payment to live in her living establishment upfront, he heads to the local middle school to get hired as a teacher. However, the principal refuses to hire him without hesitation. She will not hire men as teachers and makes it clear that she hates all men, saying they put no love into their passions and work. Amawa does not give up and with the help of his landlady, he crossdresses as a woman without a second thought, and gets hired, so he can earn money and also prove the principal wrong. Now, he has to keep his real gender a secret, and avoid strange situations, including the affections of his students (from both genders).

this is the type of anime you could binge watch in one night or two at most. there's 13 episodes and all of them seem pretty wholesome. it's one of those animes that you can really relate to in terms of crushing on someone, getting your hopes up and being let down. i can almost feel what the characters are feeling since they are very practical.

i think this is a great anime as it shows how people get mistreated based off gender and how gay people get mistreated and made fun of. this anime is full of cold, hard truths about society. i think it's ... the realistic factors of this anime that makes it all worth watching.

Mixed Feelings

The anime is simultaneously very cute and wholesome, and also features a terrible, unnecessary teacher/student romance plot.

It has some of my favorite moments of growth for students; their friendships and relationships are beautifully written, and it's a wonderful depiction of school life.
You get very beautiful moments of growth, even from background characters, who feel very real throughout the show.

However, it's just impossible to overlook the main 'romance' being between a 14 year old student, and a teacher is out of college so at least 20. Especially since the teacher reciprocating those feelings is NOT essential to the plot, and it should have been left ... as a student crush as there is at least one other instance of unrequited student crush and it's fine.
It's also full of unnecessary panty shots, and 2 background characters for whom their entire personality is creeping on girls.

The story is kind of interesting. A cross dressing teacher at a sexist school could maybe provide interesting commentary. But it doesn't bother and instead just has the most basic messages that could've been done. Even by 2001 standards it's downright primitive.

Also that stuff takes a backseat in the mess of a love square that eventually ties back into another message about true love or something. The romantic subplot also has hilariously little interesting things to say despite trying it's hardest to be inspirational.

The art was not very pleasant to look at. It almost gave a cursed feeling. I don't know how many ... songs in the ost there are because I was hearing the same song over and over again.

The characters are flat and Kuzuha's essentially a perfect angel. The mc has the level of personality of your average harem protagonist. It's not funny and very disorienting to watch. There's not even anything to make fun of, which would be a saving grace.

Also I reeeaaally wasn't into the whole teacher-student romantic relationship it was pirating so hard. It was more creepy and disturbing more than anything else. Surprised very little reviews mentioned it.

This show isn't a masterpiece. It's a strange, almost pretentious mess that wasted my time. I was disgusted, confused, annoyed, but I never smiled. How in the lord did I make it through this I don't even know.
